no separate surround, the new Arteor 10” touchscreen combines navigation tools commonly used on iOS and Android smartphone and tablet devices, with internet access and customisable profiles to offer a simple- to-operate, flexible and personalised control screen.

Fluke’s new high-end visual infrared thermometer Fluke has introduced the high-end Fluke VT04 Visual Infrared Thermometer, a troubleshooting tool with an infrared heat map that offers higher resolution as well as temperature alarms and time-lapse features. Fluke Visual IR Thermometers fill the gap for when a single-spot temperature reading is not enough and a high-resolution thermal image is more than users need: the one tool combines the visual insight of a thermal imager, the visual images of a digital camera, and the point-and-shoot convenience of an IR thermometer. Compared to the VT02, the Fluke VT04 offers a wider 28°x28° field of view for improved scanning and up-close evaluation and four times sharper images. It also features a Hi/Lo temperature alarm, which enables hot spots to be found in seconds, and time-lapse functionality, which automatically monitors equipment over time or automatically captures images after an alarm has been triggered. Images are saved to a microSD card. n www.fluke.co.uk

shentongroup installs standby generator A large 1250 generator and a 400kVA uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system was installed as part of the extensive refurbishment of an old retail headquarters in Southampton for its new occupiers, a large insurance company. The existing building was redeveloped and, due to


the nature of the business, a standby generator for the building’s datacentre and overall infrastructure was required. In addition a UPS was specified to support the data centre only. The engine size, decibel levels, power capacity and fuel capacity of the generator had all been specified. shentongroup was commissioned by the electrical contractor for the design, approval, transport and delivery and installation of the generator to meet the specification. shentongroup worked together with the electrical


contractor to manage the install, to combine the expertise of electrical installation with the specialist generator knowledge from the shentongroup project team. Ultimately, this delivers a solution with both operational and aesthetic benefits. n Call 0844 888 4445 or visit www.shentongroup.co.uk/technical
